Soil Erosion and landslide. How serious they will cause to people? When i was in high school i learned that soil erosion will bring lots of trouble to people. Reason? Check it yourself. As for landslide, i know it is one of the reason that cause tsunami. Why? Check it yourself. The reason of this blog is not explaining the the cause of soil erosion and landslide. I am here to tell u soil erosion and landslide happened in my simpang.
Raining can be considered as one the cause of soil erosion. Why do i say so? Brunei is experiencing the end of year raining season this few months. The rain will last for few hours or a day. Those who live nearby the mountain area started to worry..because the soil started to become loose and eventually become soil erosion. You will think.."Soil erosion nian mah..what so big deal" Now i tell you how big deal is it.
Subok used to be a mountain area, and has developed become estate area. So most of the houses are built nearby mountain or on top of the mountain. My neighbours' houses which are located opposite to my house always have the problem of flooding inside the house as the soil fall from the mountain has blocked their drain. They think it is a small case so no one is concerned bout it.
Until something happened last month.....

Yes, the soil got into one of my neighbour's house. So all my neighbours have no choice but to move, incase something terrible happen in the future..And....something terrible did happen last night. It was raining whole day yesterday, my mum who was ironing the clothes showed me the direction of the mountain and said "see the soil? and the water falling from the mountain? there will be something terrible happen tonight"
And my mum prediction was right. Around 9pm, my uncle told me that he heard cracking sounds from the opposite direction. Slowly, we heard window breaking and walls falling. It was a gathering for church in my house last night, my mum and one of the aunty came out and watch the scene. The rest of the uncles were busy kepo-ing and some of the uncles who work in Sin Chew Daily started to take lots of lots of pictures. To make it the heading for today newspapre. What was i doing? Took chicken wings up and waiting for the exciting things to happen. We all agreed that " This is more exciting than watching tv" .So..i kept eating and when something fell..i scream and like orang gila started to shout "Fell Fell!!". Hahaha..
So what so big deal with those craking sound and window breaking? Very big deal!!The houses going to collapses!! You will never have the chance to see the process of house collapsing. Let me show you the process...
See the house? it was bending, those bending and crack were the reason for the cracking sound and the breaking of window.
Then slowly bend till like this? going to become single storey house dy..see the light? people kept taking pictures and video.
BOMB...suddenly the house become single storey with flat roof..hahahahha
Then the balcony, if you all can recognise where is it, fell..
next day...the house become like this.with the roof fell down
the side of the house...
Bomba~~~kasian them. have to come frequently to see the houses
The mountain~~~
closer look of the house
dangerous!The police did asked us to move immediately just incase something happen in the future. There is a potential that the houses opposite to my house will face the same problem too and this will affect my house.So....Where to move?Dunno~~just let it be..God will lead us the way!
Something scary that my bro notice. See the bottom left window?he say it is something scary. and i think is light..how bout u all?
